Lowbrow art (including tiki) given a serve in Aussie press... - General Tiki

I didn't want to keep that negative stuff in my house. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, the art world is no exception. If you don't like a form or style of art - it's OK to say so. But to stoop as low as Robert Williams and say that "all this Tiki crap" - is quite shallow of the man. To add further insult to all Tiki artists by stating, "just a bunch of illustrators looking for a new place for their stuff because they lost their jobs to computers" is completely unnecessary. It makes me wonder what psychological disturbances this man has after all.
